Alice PerrinAlice Perrin, also known as Alice Robinson, was a British novelist renowned for her writings about the British in colonial India. Born on July 15, 1867, in Mussoorie, a hill station in Anglo-India, Perrin was the daughter of Bertha and John Innes Robnson, a Major General in the Bengal Cavalry. After being educated in England, she returned to India and married Charles Perrin, an engineer, in 1886. Feeling bored with the life of a British woman in India, Perrin turned to writing. Perrin's novels often delved into the lives of missionaries in India, although she expressed skepticism and lacked enthusiasm for their endeavors. In 1925, Perrin and her husband relocated to Switzerland, but tragedy struck when their only child passed away in London three years later. Alice Perrin died in Vaud in 1934, leaving behind a literary legacy that shed light on the complexities of colonial India and garnered praise for her storytelling prowess. Read More Read Less
